UPDATE 1.0.2: Now handles Youtube's new sentiment bar, where dislikes are already hidden automatically.

This extension gives users the option to hide the number of \"likes\" on a video and/or the entire sentiment bar on Youtube. Feel free to continue rating videos without worrying what other people think of it, or turn off that feature completely if you want to watch and enjoy videos without any pressure!

NOTE: You will need to restart your browser for the changes to take effect! If you have any other trouble with this extension, please leave a comment in the support page and I will get to you as soon as I can. Thanks!

no no (ID: 000000b2fabc07c1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/04/2021 Works like a charm. After Youtube removed dislikes, there is no purpose for displaying likes/dislikes information and no reason to vote on them, so its useful extension now.
